Cheese Omlete and Toast

 Good morning,

My goodness this was tasty.  Kjell made brunch again and it was terrific.  The cheese made it just right.

 Thanks, Sweetie!

Today's Patio Blossom

 Good morning,

I love going outside each morning to see what new blossoms are there to greet me.

This pretty flower is blooming in my "mixture" pot.  Each Spring I sprinkle seeds in a pot on the patio and wait to see what happens.  My mixture pot never disappoints.

Enjoy!

Lamb and Eggs

 Good morning,

Kjell prepared Lamb and Eggs for breakfast served Norwegian style with the eggs on top of the lamb.  Before heating in the skillet, he split a piece of lamb in two thin pieces.

It was yummy!

Enjoy....

Kjell's Lamb Dinner

 Good morning,

After many cruise images, here's an image from home!  Kjell made a delicious lamb dinner.  

He cut a lamb leg into serving-size pieces, then grilled it and served with mint jelly, grilled peppers, and salad.

What a marvelous summer meal!

Enjoy,

Morgan Car on the Royal Promenade

 Good morning,

This Morgan is parked in front of the wine bar on the Royal Promenade aboard Independence of the Seas.

Notice the driver and friend are giant teddy bears.  Cute.  But, there is a practical reason for them.  They are to discourage guests from getting into the car to take pictures.  Good plan.

Enjoy!

Independence of the Seas Culinary Staff

 Good morning,

During each cruise the culinary staff appears in the main dining room where guests can thank them for the marvelous meals they prepare.  Of course, they are met with resounding applause.

Ah, yes, cruise ship fun!

Enjoy,

Lois
